Should you choose the Subaru BRZ Premium?
A practical buyer-focused readWhy choose it
- AWD traction adds confidence in varied conditions.
- 0–100 km/h in 6.3 s and 228 hp make it engaging to drive.

Why skip it
- Only 2 seats limit everyday family use.

- Not aimed at premium-luxury shoppers.
- Quick, but 6.3 s to 100 km/h won’t satisfy buyers seeking track-level pace.
